A Good company to deal with

Had some problems with communicating with the company before the transaction but sorted the problems out. Offer made was aCcepted but as expected was reduced when they came to collect the car. It was reasonable and the eventual offer was better than any other company and transfer of funds was done before the vehicle was taken. Added value was that there was no fee charged for the purchse. Would recommend this company as being honest and trsutworthy and the sale of the car was made as simple as possible.

I was looking for someone to sell my vehicle too, after various tyre kickers I decided to look into the car buying company’s that are out there.
SCB were fast to respond and were very accodating I even had to cancel a collection on the morning it was due due to work but they were more than happy to rearrange even though there team were already on route.

There were no fees involved like other company’s and they offfered the best price and stuck to it.

Well done all, keep up the good customer service.

Sold Porsche 911 through Southern Car Buyers after taking quotes from multiple online car buying services. Offered best price based on pictures & service history, picked it up the next day with a transporter after a brief test drive & money transfer to bank was instantaneous. Did what they said all the way through, no last-minute haggling but my description had been accurate (recommended). Would certainly use again.

I was hesitant but all went through very smoothly

I was really hesitant about selling my car like this. You hear of all these stories and I just imagined that I would be left with no money and no car! BUT... it was such a smooth, plesent transaction I would recommend it to anyone. They offered me a price on the phone and on the day that price didn’t change unlike some companies. The transaction itself took a bit longer than a couple of minutes but came through in the end. Highly recommend.

Friendly car buying service

Excellent and friendly customer service from start to finish. Enquired about in-depth details of the car to give an accurate quote, which was the price I was given and also better than any other similar service providers. Pick up was on time and payment received instantly before taking the car away. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to sell their car.

THE BEST CAR BUYING COMPANY BY FAR

We are very very happy with the service we received with Southern Car buyers, they are so much better than other "car buying" companies!!
We were paid exactly what they said they would pay, and immediate payment also. If you are honest with them about the condition of the car you wish to sell, that is always the best way
Joe who came to pick up our car was very friendly and a nice person to deal with
I would definately recommend SCB to anyone over those other big companies whose main aim is to rip customers off
Big thanks to Sook and Joe

Brilliant straightforward experience well done

What can I say except thank you so much joe for an excellent no messing professional job well done!
I would recommend anyone to sell their car to this company.
As a novice and a nervous one at that they made the whole process simple,trustworthy and stress free.
Joe arrived exactly as planned,drove my car,explaining what’s next and bingo cash in my account and bye bye to my beloved car as we are relocating overseas.
I cannot tell you what a relief to find such a straightforward company.
Paid exactly what they said and I am stil pleasantly shocked at how easy selling a car can be.
Well done!

Great service

We agreed a price, but unfortunate I had not spotted a damage to the head light. After some discussion we agreed a new price. The company were great informing about time of arrival and great dealing with the issue. Great guy that came and picked up the car. Payment ( and best price among 4 others ) within minutes.
Highly recommended
Thanks, will use them again when we are selling next car

Happy - Smooth Transaction. They paid what they initially said they would.

Happy. Very smooth transaction, good people both on the phone and collection agents and arrived at the time promised. I was quoted a price on the phone for my honest description of my car. There was no argument when it was collected, so that was the cash paid. I have experienced other firms who appear to want to quibble and reduce the value from the first quote - I accept some people may exaggerate the condition but in both cases I had been very open, these are second hand cars when all said and done

Good service

Good service - if you are honest with them about the true condition of your car then they will honour the price they quote. Very pain free and efficient.
